"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Since the existence of mankind there has always been a quest for justice in some form or the other. As the times have progressed and the civilization as a whole has evolved there has been an emergence of subsets or facets of justice. One such facet is the principle of socio-economic justice. India being a welfare state would guarantee this form of justice to all its citizens. Hence, the founding fathers of this nation only thought that it would be wise to make special provisions in the constitution regarding the said principle. Even the Preamble of the Indian Constitution has a language, which speaks about this principle. It symbolizes the determination of India in bringing about socio-economic justice. The importance of these provisions only arises as the constitution is hailed as the grundnorm in Indian jurisprudence. However, it is to be noted that despite such provisions being enshrined in our constitution there have been certain neoliberal policies implemented by our state, which have rendered these principles futile. The objective of this research paper shall be to determine the importance of the said constitutional provisions and the implementation of policies by the state contradicting the principle of socio-economic justice. This research paper shall be divided into four parts including introduction and conclusion.
